Auntie Wang and Auntie Cui also wanted to work at Qiao Mei’s farm. They heard from Xia He that the farm staff there earned a lot of money! During this period of time, Qiao Mei had hired many of her neighbors in the area and the news had spread among the families. However, now that Auntie Zhang had left, they needed to take care of the three young children at home and there was no way for them to leave the house.

‘Qiao Mei, the two of us are alright with taking care of the children, but there’s also the rest of the housework at home, like cleaning, cooking and doing the laundry and so on. The two of us really can’t cope. Can you consider hiring another helper?” Auntie Wang said tentatively to Qiao Mei.

“I’ve been so busy with the farm recently that I’ve forgotten about the issues at home. I’m really sorry,” Qiao Mei said apologetically.

“I’m not blaming you! 1 just want to discuss it with you,” Auntie Wang said nervously.

Qiao Mei understood what Auntie Wang was thinking. She planned to hold a family meeting to sort out the recent issues and solve all the problems at once.

At night, Auntie Wang and Auntie Cui coaxed the three children to sleep. After that, everyone gathered at the living room in an orderly manner for a meeting. Even Butler Xu was asked to attend.

“Auntie Wang and Auntie Cui, your salary is slightly lower than theirs. It’s 700 dollars a month. From now on, the two of you don’t have to come and ask me or Xia He for money. Every month, we’ll put the household expenses for the month in a drawer in the study. You just need to record it in the book when you take money out from there. We will do random checks every month,” Qiao Mei said.

“It’s already a lot! Thank you, Miss Qiao! We note your instructions!” Auntie Wang said excitedly.

Qiao Mei even bought a car in Luo Yu’s name so that Butler Xu can drive it to chauffeur the farm’s customers around. It would also be more convenient for Butler Xu to drive Auntie Wang home to see the children.

As time passed, Auntie Cui felt a little upset. Her husband was located 400 kilometers away and it was very difficult for her to go home during her days off. It would be great if her husband could come to this tovvn to work and bring the children with him. This way, their family could be together all the time like Auntie Wang and Butler Xu.

When Qiao Mei was resting in the study, Auntie Cui took the chance to come

and look for her. Auntie Cui knocked on the door, feeling embarrassed, and said, “Miss Qiao, can I come in?”

“Come in,” Qiao Mei said immediately.

“l... I have something to discuss with you,” Auntie Cui said shyly..
